creased or diminished for different speeds and for different sized-reels, so as to give the proper discharge during the downward movement.

In Fig. 3 I have shown the improvement adapted to a round reel. The advantages of the improvement are in this construction as in the form already described, and the applica tion is substantially the same.

I claim as my invention- 1. The combination7 in abolting-reel, of the division-boards forming longitudinal partitions in said reel and the inclined gatherboards arranged upon the inner edges of said division-boards and projecting in both directions therefrom, and forming the converging pockets upon one side of said partition and the diverging pockets upon the other for reeeiving and distributing the stock, substantially as described.

2. The combination, in abolting-reel, of the longitudinal division boards 12, the inclined gather-boards 14, secured upon the inner edges of said division-boards and projecting therefrom on both sides of the board, converging at one side toward the surface of the reel, 25 and forming the pockets 16 upon that side, and the strips 20, secured to said gather-boards and forming a hopper-shaped opening for the pocket 16, substantially as described.

3. The combination, in a bolting-reel, of the 3o longitudinal ribs 10, the cloth secured over said ribs, the longitudinal divisionboards extending inwardly from said ribs toward the center of the reel, and the inclined gatherboards 14, arranged upon the inner edges of 35 said division-boards and forming the converging and diverging pockets 16 and 1S upon the opposite sides of said division-boards, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set 4o my hand this 12th day of December, 1887.
